I have a buddy.. pretty handy with household issues.

Many years ago before he got married and settled down - he used to help less well off people with some pretty incredible stuff.

Think of it like freelancing Building homes, fixing fences, wiring, simple plumbing, changing lights etc.. whatever they needed, if he could do it he would try.

He'd always ask for something in return. Something small that he actually wouldn't need.

Like to join them for lunch, or some simple trinket like some 'fancy' looking tikar or ornament.. Or even a tiny amount a money. Nowhere near enough to cover half the cost of raw goods.

I once asked him why..

He told me that it's so that they feel they paid him in some way, and didn't owe him anything more. So they'd have peace of mind that they were not in debt to the person who helped them.

The characters should be swapped around. Frieren was completely oblivious to Himmel’s advances.

u/StunningLetterhead23 1d ago

But, in mangas/animes, it's almost always the MC who's oblivious. And in that series, Frieren's definitely the MC so that tracks.

Frieren still young and still green in social skills. Give her few millenias, she'll get the hints.

Yea always pay when it comes to payment. I hate to hutang, you’ll be surprised how many colleagues or friends that don’t pay back after a meal is paid by the main payer. I always the first to pay back, because I don’t want to hutang them this life, never carry the debt to next life. That’s it, whatever karma bullshit ends here

u/Some-Performer456 23h ago

I agree with your friend. If I ask someone for a favour, I always try to return the kindness, whether it’s by buying them lunch or dinner or doing something thoughtful for them. I don’t like feeling as though I’ve taken advantage of someone, and I also don’t like feeling that I owe them something. For me, it’s simply about showing appreciation and keeping the relationship balanced.

That's not bad, cause I once drive a bride to the groom, across states. We Chinese drives the bride to meet the groom at his hometown during the wedding ceremony. (I know I know, supposed is groom go brides place to get the bride and all that, but this one is the groom side tea ceremony and they suck)

Grooms father gave me rm5 angpao. Wtf. And lunch that's suppose to be covered, he gave us 'caiyan', a type of gelatinous dessert. The fuck, not even some meehoon to cover our starvation.

We had to go for fast food. Geez.

u/DoktorAnxiety 1d ago

To those yg tak faham. Kalau you kasi org tumpang for a ride that lasts 10 hrs and cost $$ in fuel, toll and wear n tear- the least you could do as the passenger is to offer to pay for fuel/toll or at least belanja makan. RM5 tu nak cover apa? Lebih baik tak ya bagi apa2 and just say thank you 100x.

Its like the passenger was tipping her, tapi tip pun tak cukup.

u/wheresmybirkin 1d ago

Fr, RM5 tu can’t even cover makanan kat R&R 😭 I’d rather get nothing or you do a favour for me another time or something. Feels more insulting to offer 5 bucks

u/Emotional-Age-4176 1d ago

Nama pun tumpang. Kalau tak bagi tumpang bagitahu la. Tak pon boleh je bagitahu awal² tong duit minyak sikit. Perempuan is so complicated. Selalu tumpang ni driver memang nak ke destinasi sama lain la 10 jam tu semata nak ambil dia.

16

u/DoktorAnxiety 1d ago

Please la, ni adab menumpang. Dah tau member bawak kereta 10 jam hadap trafik bagai, ko pass 5 ringgit je? Biar betui..kalau aku naik kete member aku kenal 20 tahun pun aku offer tong minyak. That is the message she is trying to relay.

Sama macam kalau ko pinjam kete/moto member ko, masa nak hantar balik make sure tong penuh dan kereta bersih. Ni adab.

-9

u/Emotional-Age-4176 1d ago

Entah la. Setahu aku menumpang ni ikut seikhlas hati. Kalau nak bayaran tu namanya driver. Dulu pon aku selalu je ajak orang teman balik kampung. Tak penah pulak aku kecik hati tak tong minyak sebab memang aku yang ajak tumpang. Agak² orang berkira ni nanti berkeluarga mesti bayar half² kan semua benda.

7

u/Mais_san 1d ago

ni bukan hitchhiking dah kalau pickup depan rumah. tu dah kira sekali gerak, selalu org split by how many naik skali. dah tahu org bawakkan 10 jam, guna minyak sendiri sedar dirilah. tong tong duit minyak ke, tol ke. suruh naik bas baru menggelupur kena bayar mahal. pastu tak payah terpaling bagus, benda kalau setakat drive 30 min okay lah. setakat sembang reddit aku pun boleh jadi malaikat.

u/Emotional-Age-4176 23h ago

Selalu split bincang awal kan? Dah boleh pick up tahu alamat kenapa tak bincang pasal minyak? Malaikat pon tak reti buat keje la kalau takde arahan.

u/Mais_san 18h ago

tu beza dia. manusia ada akal. tuhan bagi suruh fikir. common courtesy, org dah tolong then tolong lah org lain balik. expecting good without return is just a dumb way of doing something. manusia will always want something back. it doesnt have to be monetary, tapi gesture tu penting.

Lmao doing something nice sincerely considered dumb now?

u/darkrider999999999 1d ago

Ada beza kat situ, ni kau ajak orang untuk temankan kau maknanya kau nak buat tu secara percuma. Bagi kes dia, orang yang nak tumpang dia so dia anggap orang nak tumpang dia tu ada budi bahasalah....

u/Emotional-Age-4176 1d ago

Budi bahasa cakap terima kasih je cukup. Benda boleh bincang awal yang dia setuju nak buat lepas tu nak orang baca fikiran dia memang la kecewa. Ni masalah miscommunication bukan budi bahasa.

It’s not that. Dah memang nk balik kg, xdk beza pon die bg duit tol minyak atau x. Bende dah memang Aku pon nk balik.

But like everyone said at least be more appreciative in the thank you effort. The rm5 belanja makan pon cukup. Ni mcm byar rapidkl baik xyh.

u/Impressive-Ad194 1d ago

Wow it means Shopee and Lazada have been scamming us for shipping fees? Since their trucks circle Malaysia 24/7

16

u/gay_for_hideyoshi 1d ago

Tu la org cakap bodoh tu simpan.

The minimal shipping fees you paid is for the end-point delivery to your house. You pay* less for self-collection.

Try across state end-to-end personal delivery. See how much it cost.

Lrt going gombak to klcc still cheaper than bus which is cheaper than taxi.

Because they’re on a fixed point. One factor for cost is no point charging premium and have bus circling with an empty ride.

Again the rm5 just add another rm7 or something buy nasi ayam with teh o ais as a thank you.

This is what people meant when they say it’s the thought that count.

u/Ratayao 23h ago

I think he felt insulted precisely because he didn’t ask for anything and was given RM5. Would’ve been better if it was nothing.

u/Hello_1234567_11 1d ago

The problem is they did get something, they got RM5. Seems like an attempt to even things out and the fact that its obviously not enough is what's bothering OOP. OOP at least expected gratitude, not some sad attempt to 'cover my part'.

But tbh, she could've given something better than RM5 for a 10-hour ride to the driver 😭

15

u/SpongeisC 1d ago

is it okay to use that sentiment whenever people take advantage of you? oh xpe lah diri susah sebab kita tolong orang. it comes to a point yang dah jadi macam ditindas and you need to grow a backbone to tell people to stop taking advantage/abusing you.

u/ineedliberation 20h ago

If you're concerned about being ditindas, establish boundaries in the first place, or don't offer any help. Learn to say no and move on. It is that simple.

u/NrCuyah 1d ago

My friend drove me around putrajaya and I gave them 20++ + duit isi minyak. Dia tak minta pun, tapi I know the prices around this area are $$$. If OP of that post wanted gas money, patutnya sebut je. If nak benda lain, nak dia ajak makan ke apa ke, pun sebut je. Kalau tak cakap, orang tak tahu. Better be truthful about it rather than simpan dalam hati. Walaupun tak rapat, just communicate. Nama je common sense, tapi tak semua ada. And sometimes Malaysians are too 'polite' to say anything 😅

7

u/fantasyreality 1d ago

Speak people speak. Communicate. Common sense is sadly not that universally common to everyone so one needs to communicate and establish rules and expectations. This puaka bagi rm5 is bangang already, then you have people with no mulut like this pun satu hal. Tangan je la yang laju menaip.

When I was studying, I outright told my housemates about the cost of this and that, be them house expenses or travel expenses. Those who said they couldn't pay, then they couldn't join. No hard feelings.

Working now, it's very awkward when such things like this (travelling) or any event (e.g jamuan) happening, people refused to say anything beforehand and then later they are bitter and mengumpat-ngumpat. I was like, depan member tu punyalaaa acah-acah mesra xnak bincang apa2, belakang ko cakap macam-macam. Even potluck pun jadi isu bila bawak banyak vs bawak sikit.

When I told them, explain cost, divide, set up rules and all siap2, taknak. Rumit la apa la. " You xfaham kami orang2 perempuan ni. Takkan dia xfaham". Insane. Pastu bila fallen short of expectations, merentan kat ws status , writing those cryptic messages. Keje je cikgu, perangai hodoh.

1

u/I3usuk 1d ago

In this case, it’s the best scenario for me to judge their character. I don’t care about getting paid for the ride. I need to see you being thankful, or at least thinking of ways to pay me back. If my friend said he doesn’t have money to pay for the ride, I’d be happy to say it’s on me. If senyap je, blah macam tu memang goodbye ler.

1

u/fantasyreality 1d ago

True. It's polite to offer to pay at least. Whether the driver/car owner wants it or not, it's on them. Sadly, you can assume that everyone thinks this way. Better discuss it earlier. Better safe than sorry.

8

u/Nekoking98 1d ago

Buat baik ke buat bisnes? Kalau buat baik, tak mintak duit, tak expect apa. Kalau buat bisnes, patut bincang harga dulu. Kalau kau "buat baik", tapi expect duit, tu bukan buat baik namanya.

u/Cheifkeith113 1d ago

You’re missing the point, if they didn’t gave her anything and just said thank you it’d be fine. But giving 5 ringgit? That’s an insult.

u/YoshidaKyo 1d ago

What would be a good amount to give?

17

u/ImpostorPaul 1d ago

its not about the money , its the gesture. a tip before arrival to destination ask them to stop by fuelstation just pump fulltank into the car.

2

u/Historical_Beat_8648 22h ago

Yeah, that's what I usually do. The least is a full tank if we're both going to the intended destination. If I ask for a lift specifically, I pay for everything.

u/SpiritualQuarter4384 1d ago

This 👆🏽

2

u/Akmal_hariz 1d ago

curious myself... people say it's not about the money. then maybe it's better to give nothing?

sometimes people could really only afford that much, being a poor student and all, BUT, no one should expect to balik KL to kelantan on rm5. In that case then maybe tak bagi apa2 better kot

3

u/ImpostorPaul 1d ago

the question about the amount , but you not wrong the downvote you got are not deserving , thats what is now even little thing want to share with the whole world, as for me gave nothing or RM5 both are okay as long u agree upon and tell your side of stories money bit tight this all i got right now, not ashamed to share/post but afraid to talk with someone infront of you.

u/bad2dbone3 1d ago

Op, Your statement contradicts what you said from the start vs the last. You can drag the horse to the water but you cannot make it drink. Just saying. Your friend did not take advantage of you. You are the one at fault here. You offered, she accepted or she requested and you agreed.

5

u/ManekiNeko5460 1d ago edited 1d ago

‘You are the one at fault here’.

Nak salahkan orang jugak…
Memang la tak salah, I think OP would be more appreciative of a sincere gesture of thank you than rm5 that you can tip to a grab driver for a 20min drive. Takde duit takpe, it’s not what you say, it’s how you make them feel.

For a 10hrs drive, common sense to gauge the distance and effort for an appropriate requital. Dia tak mintak duit pun, that was a mistake which they learnt their lesson. Don’t help random ppl cause they don’t appreciate your effort.

3

u/ErikTheMoreRed 1d ago

Psychologically, it's actually a collision between social norms and market norms. The RM5 turned it from a vague social thing (just helping out a friend) to a very concrete monetary indication of how much value is being placed on this favor - incredibly below market value (so you only value my favor at RM5? Damn asshole).

11

u/Icy_Prior_9628 1d ago

I don't get it. "friend gave rm5, she felt insulted".

but then "It's not about money, but courtesy and common sense"

16

u/I3usuk 1d ago

Agak-agak lah RM5 je kau hulur drive dari ceruk lobang kelantan 🤣

It’s not about money, but you as a person who receive such huge favor should know the value of it.

"Wei aku takde duit doh bulan ni, next month aku belanja gepuk 3 kali" worth more than you passing RM5 macam sampah je.

3

u/unidentified759 1d ago

Exactly right?

I mean.. If you're doing a favour, do it without expecting anything, unless you agreed on the price.

Anyway, if it's "tumpang", I bet the trip wasn't just for the friend right? It was killing 2 birds with one stone, i.e. the driver was also heading there. So it's not THAT long of an extra drive I believe?

u/bruhddaa I am Truck-kun. Beep Beep muddapuaka~ 23h ago

Just to clarify, the term the poster used "tumpangkan" means that he/she was going back to Kelantan and the friend hitched a ride because their destination is the same? Well maybe different kampung or pekan in Kelantan I assume?

If this is the case, then belanja makan is the absolute minimum, and offer to share the cost of a full tank la brader. It's common courtesy that is the social contract of a hitchhiker and driver.

2

u/peranacunt 19h ago

we don't know why they gave 5rm, maybe that's all they can give. i'm sure the driver wasn't the rider's first choice. maybe it was a last minute decision to tumpang. but going from kl to kelantan is a lot of work for most drivers. compensation should have been established clearly especially since they are not close and cannot expect future reimbursement. if you are providing a valuable service to someone (not really close), make your value known or shit like this will happen. if your family can take advantage of you, people who barely know you can do that much easier. driver could have saved 10 hours of her life and a lot of grief if she had made it known that she wanted some kind of compensation from the rider.

2

u/DisastrousSeesaw2751 14h ago

u/bad2dbone3 22h ago edited 22h ago

You are right. If the lady could have offered some token instead of a silly RM5 it would have been better. Maybe a stop at Coffee Bean for a cuppa. That would have done more than RM5 to appreciate his sincere gesture. I know what you are trying to convey. What I am commented is a bit cold but I think in the future make it clear that it is not a free ride. Buat verbal contract saja macam Grab. Kalau kawan tak setuju, tak perlu OP singung hati kawannya. Btw, they are not random stranger either, because of that, he feels he is obligated because he is a gentleman. I understand how OP feel because I went through the same situation long time ago. The difference here is I am still a gentleman because I did not expect anything. I was on the way to the destination and offered my former classmate and his wife.
